2. LIFES RICH PAGEANT (1986) I blame the lyrics of “Swan Swan H” for this not being first: Swan, swan, hummingbird Hurrah, we are all free now What noisy cats are we Girl and dog he bore his cross Swan, swan, hummingbird Hurrah, we are all free now A long, low time ago, people talk to me Johnny Reb, what’s the price of fans? Forty a piece or three for one dollar Hey captain, don’t you want to buy Some bone chains and toothpicks? Night wings, her hair chains, Here’s your wooden greenback, sing Wooden beams and dovetail sweep I struck that picture ninety times, I walked that path a hundred ninety, Long, low time ago, people talk to me Pistol hot cup of rhyme The whiskey is water, the water is wine Marching feet, Johnny Reb, what’s the price of heroes? Six of one, half dozen the other, Tell that to the captain’s mother, Hey captain, don’t you want to buy, Some bone chains and toothpicks? Night wings, her hair chains Swan, swan, hummingbird Hurrah, we are all free now What noisy cats are we Long, low time ago, people talk to me Pistol hot cup of rhyme The whiskey is water, the water is wine
